In case you don’t read IGN, they’ve been doing a ‘Top 100 Pokémon‘ countdown that was decided by site viewers who voted for the better ‘mon when presented with two. The countdown has finally finished and I thought I’d present the top 10 so that we could discuss it on our own:
- Charizard
- Mewtwo
- Blastoise
- Lugia
- Dragonite
- Mew
- Rayquaza
- Zapdos
- Tyranitar
- Zekrom
Generation I had 6 out of 10, Generation II had 2, Generation III had 1, Generation IV had 0, and Generation V had 1. Seems like the voters were mostly older gamers who probably weren’t familiar with the newer pokemon. I don’t feel that Dragonite and Zapdos are particularly cool myself, but you, of course, may disagree :p

An awful lot of overrated pokemon….
Charizard’s cool and all, but that list needs more fire monkeys! Infernape’s family, Simisear and son, even Darmanitan’s duo! Fire monkeys are the way to go! ^o^
Overrated, everything. That’s the only explanation i find for the fact that they think Charmeleon is cooler than Salamence
10.lucario
9.garchomp
8.haxorus
7.palkia
6.zekrom
5.genosect
4.kyogre
3.flygon
2.sceptile
1.golduck
It’s ok. Charizard is cool 😀
IGN doesn’t matter they got the amount of pokemon wrong -,- they said OVER 650 of these critters running around so in my opinion they aren’t pokemon fans and have no reason to label the pokemon from 1-100
Well it can be over 650 if you include all the form differences.
There’s a 4chan rumor about that the Wii 2 will have an online Pokemon RPG as the front runner to show off the Wii 2’s online capabilities.
Sounds far too good to ever be true, but I guess there’s always a tiny sliver of hope. Sounds like something that might be worth mentioning though.
I think Zekrom deserves a better spot! I watched that video a couple of days ago, and don’t think Charizard (although awsome) deserved 1st place more than Zekrom!
The only pokemon i like in there is blastoise and zekrom :/ I cant believe there was none from sinnoh! I hate the old pokemon, there so simple
It looks like SOMEONE at IGN does not like the later gens of Pokemon, that or they are not used to the 5th Generation yet, since in Gen 5, there are NO POKEMON from previous generations, only Gen 5 Pokemon. Not to mention that HALF of the Pokemon are Legendaries. My top 11 Pokemon are as follows, why top 11, because I like to go one step beyond (just like That Guy with the Glasses):
11. Flygon
10. Excadrill
9. Samurott
8. Ninetales
7. Feraligatr
6. Floatzel
5. Mienshao
4. Lucario
3. Raichu
2. Charizard
1. Mewtwo
Full of overrated pokemons. Such a stupid and boring poll…
At least Pikachu isn’t in there, dang overrated rat. Next time they should have a poll with no legendaries or starters. Give the normals a chance!
Zapdos is cool… But Dragonite is awesome. I’m kind of sad that Hydreigon didn’t make it higher up on the list… He’s one of my favorites.
I was just thinking about this while the page loaded xD Thanks for posting it up! D

Man I hated this list.
The only thing I liked is that Stunfisk was in the hated list.
I DESPISE that freak.
If any of you saw the actual voting process, you’d notice very quickly that the poll was completely rigged. You were shown two Pokemon and have to click on the one you like more. Then you get shown two more Pokemon, and so on. This would be fair if EVERY Pokemon had the same chance of being a choice, BUT a group of Pokemon were rigged to show up most(50-80%?) of the time, no surprise every one of those Pokemon got the top 25+ places!
I’m sorry, but I just find it disgusting that people would give positive attention to a bias poll.
I agree, and it angered me that some of my favorite Pokemon (Floatzel, Mienshao, Ninetales, etc.) weren’t even on the 100 list (well, Samurott, Flygon, and Lucario were on it), but at least a few of my favorite DC and Marvel villians were on their Top 100 Villians list (Magneto deserved to be #1 on that list)
I mean really, what were they thinking!? They each gave us a choice of only two Pokemon to choose from (seriously, we could have chosed from 5 or 7 Pokemon, but the guys at IGN had to be fools, since they hate the “ugly” Pokemon like Garbodor), and then gave us another 2, and another 2, etc. and they did not even go through all 649 Pokemon in the poll choices, just about 200 of them, and they had the final evolutions of all the starters except Emboar, all the Eeveelutions except Leafeon, as well as the ENTIRE evolution lines of the Gen 1 starters. Yeah, that poll was definetly rigged, simply for them to get their own way.
It’s not about what the fans think, the choices they all gave us were the ones THEY thought were cool (that’s pretty much cheating in my eyes), seriously, even the ugly Pokemon like Muk and Garbodor have fans too. I just find it sick to see the lengths IGN will go to piss off Pokemon fans
I think we should make our own Top 100 poll and choose the Pokemon WE choose (from all 649) to be on the list, not the ones THEY choose.
I am gonna only say something,maybe it would be right(and a little bit funny) to replace them with –
1.Magikarp (nah,this weakling is so popular hahaha)
2.Lucario/Zoroark (even design,both pkmn are so cool)
3. Oshawott (all time favorite!)
4. Genesect (a beast,this should replace mewtwo)
5. Infernape (cool pose,that’s all,i dont like its,typing)
6. Staraptor (cool emo hair(that’s what i call its,something))
7. Squirtle (first starters ever choosen,from pkmn red)
8. Arceus (self-explanatory)
9.Rayquaza(overrated i know,but it has so much cool pose,or design huh)
10.Mudkip (not a mudkip fan,but i herd u liek mudkipz)
So why Magikarp? One thing,OVERRATED>.<.
How about making our own top 100 PJN?
You make a list, then people vote, like, their 10 favorite pokemon, and then you you make a list out of it ;D
Gen 1: Porygon
Gen 2: Lugia\porygon2
Gen 3: Metagross
Gen 4: Magnezone
Gen 5: Cofagrigus
Just my personal picks for each gen :P.
I cant stand fans who hate the new pokemon! The thing that makes me most mad was seeing the bottom 10. These pokemon are not ugly but different, a complete BA gen would not be interesting cos there would be no variety. I personally weirdo pokemon cos they are different, emboar, garbodour they all look good but just different
My name says it all lol. Hydreigon should have been higher. IMHO, he looks better than Barney-I mean Dragonite.
